You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1338 A Kiss Is Not Illegal

Arissa, still slightly dazed by Benjamin's earlier advances, pushed him away after a moment, patting his back gently.

Her face was flushed, and she glanced over at the kitchen, trying to avoid anyone's gaze as if she'd been caught doing something improper.

Benjamin, amused by her furtive behavior, chuckled softly. “What are you looking at?”

Blushing, Arissa retorted, “You're never serious!”

Benjamin wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. “A little kiss won't hurt; we're at home.”

Hearing his confident tone, Arissa couldn't help but roll her eyes. “We have guests, you know.”

Benjamin's eyes sparkled with amusement. In the next moment, Arissa felt herself being lifted off the ground.

Panicking slightly, she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging to his neck as Benjamin cradled her in his arms.

With her facing him and with his arm holding onto her bottom, he began walking toward the stairs.

“You...” Arissa blushed furiously and pounded on his shoulder. “Put me down now!”

She was incredibly embarrassed at the thought of someone seeing them in such an intimate embrace.

“We're heading to the bedroom,” Benjamin smirked, carrying on as if nothing unusual was happening.

Arissa kept her eyes on the kitchen area, anxious not to be caught in their ambiguous position. She urged him to move faster. “Hurry up!”


Benjamin chuckled softly and deliberately slowed his pace. “Are you sure you want it to be quick?”

His deep, seductive voice had Arissa's mind racing with thoughts.

She wished she could just smack him. “Get up there faster!”

Benjamin kept his intense gaze on her, the wicked curve of his lips never fading.

With one graceful step, he continued ascending the stairs, driving Arissa to the brink of exasperation. It was clear that this man was doing it on purpose.

Blushing deeply, Arissa slapped him a few times. “Shameless!”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow. He didn't let up, making Arissa feel slightly frantic. “I haven't done anything.”

Arissa was on the verge of losing her patience. “Put me down, and I'll walk by myself!”

Seeing that Arissa was almost at her breaking point, Benjamin finally decided not to tease her further. He carried her into the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed.

“All right, be good and rest in the bedroom.”

He bent down to plant a soft kiss on her cheek before standing up, ready to head out.

Arissa blinked, feeling somewhat bewildered.

This man was definitely playing with her.

She grabbed a pillow and tossed it his way, and it landed perfectly at Benjamin's feet.

He sighed, stooping down to pick it up. “Your temper is getting worse.”

“It's all because of you!” Arissa retorted.

As Benjamin reached for her, his eyes locked onto her, seemingly amused.

Arissa's gaze darted away; she feared that he would see through her thoughts.

Benjamin found her incredibly adorable and had an itching desire to get closer. However, he restrained himself.

“I'll spend some quality time with you tonight; I have a few matters to attend to right now.”

If it weren't for the scheduled meeting, Benjamin would have loved to spend more time cuddling with her in the bedroom.
